The win of Nicușor Dan, who defeated pro-Russian nationalist George Simion, means continued support and aid for Ukraine that was threatened by his opponent.
The pro-Russian presidential candidate Simion called past assistance a betrayal of national interests and vowed to prioritize domestic needs if elected.
After winning the first election round, Simion, sanctioned by Ukraine, urges a Trump-style ceasefire in Ukraine, criticizes weapons aid as allegedly harmful to Europe.
Romania's current leadership supports Ukraine, but today's presidential elections and the upcoming parliamentary elections on December 1 could potentially alter the country's stance on this support.
